Record Keeping Training:

"It was very good. I learnt a lot of other information which I didn't expect."

Skills to Foster Training:

"So much was helpful - but dealing with all the uncomfortable bits i.e. complaints/allegations were really useful. I feel we have explored and covered a lot of ground from placement to moving on and the exercises really cemented our understandings"
